…Til I leave for England!
That’s right!!! We are in the final count down.
As my mother would say, “I know it looks like its 6 weeks til you go but really it’s more like 2 because we dont count the week we are in, we dont count the last week before you leave and there are two weeks where you are writing exams, so they dont count either.” – we’re that kind of family. Logic? pfft.
Two things are happening at the moment.
One the one hand I am wrapping up my life. It’s time to say goodbye to people, to finish up my studies for the year, to finish off youth and church stuff and to start decluttering (my life cannot weigh more than 30kg… but no pressure).
On the other hand, I asked God to change me. I dont want to go into this new era with baggage (beyond said 30kg). I dont want to be dealing with the residual after effects of this part of my life. i want a smooth transition.
The thing is, when you ask, you receive. And i didnt realise what i was getting myself into. I’m being refined by fire at the moment. and it hurts. It’s alot. I have to think and deal with things that i have buried for years. That i wish i could just leave underground, pretending they dont exist. But that’s not how growth happens. we all have things like this. Life is never perfect. My brother said something the other day – the grass is not greener on the other side. the grass is greener on the side that you water. What parts of your life are you letting grow? what parts are you neglecting? I’m tired of not prioritising Jesus and his plans for me above the business of my life. So i’m changing.
So even though there are only 6 weeks left (or two, if you are my mom) I know that God’s going to change me and ready me for the new adventure. It’s going to be amazing.
Take some time this week to think about what is important in your life. shoudl your priorities be your priorities? if not, what should be?
On a slightly lighter note… look at my new hat. 6 weeks of Summer left!!!!
Love,
